Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Larry Daniel is the unflappable gent who has been running the door and deejaying at the Climax and its predecessor, the Raven, since the locale’s disco heyday. He’s also been putting up gracefully with hordes of punk brats and drunk scenesters since the venue started hosting rock shows in 1994. When he’s trying to clear the room at 1:45 in the morning, he gets on stage and bellows into the mike, “All right, folks — it’s No-Tell Motel time!” Which is pretty funny during an all-ages show, when the crowd is made up of sixteen-year-old kids with liberty spikes.
